Hello all,

i just purcased a nookcolor for my wife (& me of course. ;) )

So before I root it, I want to know afew things. ( I am fimiliar with android, I have a incredible that I have modded )

1) when i root we she still be able to buy & downld stuff from the b&n store?

2)can clockwork recovery be loaded?

If so can I make a "nandroid" backup? As to say be able to restore. / brick proof?

3)can the root be removd if needed?

4) can any rom be loaded after root? Like 2.3, ? Redemtion rEVOolutin? Cynogen? 3.0( I this out. )

5)how about apps? Can any android apps be loaded? Or are there now "nook color" specific apps /roms I have to use?

That's about all I can think of, thank all who answer.
[Nook Color General] elwopo:
1) Yes, you can still download and use everything from the B&N store, whether you use the original stock nook app or the one downloaded from the market.

2) Yes, clockworkmod can be loaded.

3) Of course! Do a search. There is a way to go back to stock.

4) Only roms designed for use on the nook will really "work". CyanogenMod 7 just went into nightlies but it isn't a daily driver just yet. NookiFroyo (2.2 port) works fine and boots straight from the SD card. There are also Honeycomb ports but they are far from being daily drivers. There's also a way to dual boot the emmc so that you can have multiple ports (i.e stock eclair and cyanogen mod/whatever). Again, search search search and you'll find everything you need.

5) just about any android app can be loaded. i'm not aware of many that aren't working. Learn how to use softkeys.

Search google for NookDevs wiki. (i can't post links yet)

it has EVERYTHING you'll need.
[Nook Color General] nicbennett:
Welcome to the community.

1. Yes, B&N store works fine rooted. Not sure about custom roms, I'm using rooted stock until CM7 is more stable.

2. Clockwork can be loaded. Also, there are flashable stock roms available over in the Dev forum. It's been said multiple times that the NC is pretty much unbrickable, it can always be recovered with an SD card, so don't worry too much about that.

3. Yes.

4. No. There are a couple of roms being worked on for the nook. Cyanogenmod 7 is doing nightly released right now. There is also a version of honeycomb and a version of froyo that quite a few people on this forum use. I understand CM7 and HC aren't entirely stable and bug free yet, but I don't use either myself, so I can't describe specific issues. If you use the search tool I'm sure you can find them.

5. Most android apps can be loaded. there are some that don't work on the nook color or won't show up in the market for some reason, but for the most part you shouldn't have any trouble. It does have the standard android market after rooting.
[Nook Color General] enohand:
Thanks guys. Sinv,ce postinf if been on the wiki & nookdev.

So I'm learning....I'm so used to my old droid, jow my incredible. Not really diggin the whole bn ui......I like to have osmthing that nearly reembles those. (Shes quite familar with playin on the non activated droid mostly anry birds n ireader,

Wu I be able to set up a home screen with like beautiful idgwts n minimalistic text.

Ill find out the answer to both of those questions tomorrow whn I root. I jus got it for her today, so ill let it stay stock for 1 day. Plus I ont have a spare sd card.....

Posting on this nook is already provjng to be. Bit of apain...

Rerracting double post
[Nook Color General] nicbennett:
you'll get the hang of it. I had trouble typing on it at first too, now it's nice and smooth.
[Nook Color General] mckooter:
Yes you will be able too. one of the first things you do is install a homescreen replacement (such as launcher pro, zeam, adw) then you can put the homescreen widgets and such on it

if your looking to keep the full functionality of the nook while still getting some of these extras I would suggest just rooting it and not installing any roms to it. if you do you only have the android nook app which isnt as fully functional as the one that was built into the nook color.
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
Welcome to the community!

I have been running honeycomb for about 2 weeks on my Nook Color. I originally put it on to try it but I stayed with it. It is about 80% there but I have found workarounds for the things that are missing and it runs much much better than I would have ever expected. After using it for a day, I realized that I just can't live without the new email app and widget. I also could never get used to softkeys. I think my fingers are just to pudgy. Honeycomb was designed for devices without buttons so it works better for me.

Something that I think you will enjoy if you are coming from an Incredible or other Android phone like I did is that the device checks the sd card for boot before the internal memory, meaning that you can leave your everyday ROM on the device while you test others. I recommend buying two sd cards for it. One for your regular data and files and another to hold a recovery image and ROMS.

[Android Apps and Games] chatfan:
Hello people, I am just wondering if there is any kind of app for Android that let me share some small data packages between two phone in same GPRS network and same Cell Phone Provider, I mean, when I ping to Phone A it gives me it's IP but how can I send (maybe using an app, don't know) some files using same app in PHONE B.

Any idea?

remember, it's over GPRS platform

Same GPRS Network and same Cell Phone provider...

any idea?

thanks in advance

Looking to get XDA Internet Sharing app to work with Elocity A7. I tried installing adhocfix.zip. But A7 is unable to obtain IP. I'm running XDA Internet Sharing on HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM6.5. Other devices can connect & obtain IP

This was a previous post by someone else, but found no solution. The A7 sees the adhoc network (XDA Wifi Sharing), but can't get to connect, just searches for IP adress.

If anyone is using it, is it still a battery hog like it was in eclair?

Sent from my never been rooted, stock Froyo Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
While not exactly what you were asking I think the main reason most people aren't/weren't using it because it was:

1. Ineffecient

2.Lacking even basic features (like being able to move icons, although that might have changed, personally I don't use it and never will)

3. It looks like a KIRF iPhone.

Not to say it wasn't a battery hog but even if it wasn't I'm sure most people aware of other launchers wouldn't be using it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
K thanx for the input. I know the dock shortcuts can now be changed and the number of screens can too. Plus it now has pinch to zoom on the homescreen and app drawer. I like what has changed, but I'm afraid it eats battery like before. Can anyone who uses it reply?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MojoSwag:
I guess that I'm in the minority because I actually don't mind the touchwiz launcher. I haven't really notices it being a battery hog, but I'm not running a bunch of widgets and a only using 3 homescreens

[Surround General] McHale:
I haven't found anyone with a Surround on AT&T that has gotten the update. If AT&T does to WP7 like they have continued to do with Android, it will be the last branded phone I ever buy from them.

God, I hate AT&T.
[Surround General] mo3ulla:
lol dude ... did you readed thread with update at all ? update was removed from ms site in 23 feb . due problems with samsung devices (c) captain oblivious
[Surround General] McHale:
Appreciate your response, I guess. But they only removed it for Samsung phones, newb.

http://www.winrumors.com/microsoft-temporarily-disables-windows-phone-7-update-for-samsung-devices/

And regardless if they removed it or not for all phones, the question still stands:

DID ANYONE WITH AN HTC SURROUND RECEIVE THE UPDATE?

Why is this so difficult for you to understand? Jeesh...
[Surround General] teoami:
I was under the impression that they only turned off the update for Samsung as well, according to Engadget.

I have yet to receive any update notification either for my Surround.

However, I'm not sure if ATT would have anything to do with this, because you should be able to just update the phone via Zune, bypassing any carrier influence, correct?
[Surround General] mo3ulla:
McHale looks like you born 1 min ago .. or you first time own PDA ..

1. update nature .. anyway .. will require carrier assistance .. will they support 1 year old devices ? more likely not

2. update was NOT intended for all devices .. they said that right from start . also no one said future updates will be for all devices as well .

3. as far as you may know chevron will be fixed in nodo ( future update ). and NO LONGER WILL UNLOCK PHONE. you will NOT be able jailbreak your phone .. i rly dunno why so many exclamations and despiration in update process at all .. since right after update you gonna FLood forum with = HOW COULD I FALLBACK INTO 7004 ??? QQ OMG BBQ

in the end of sentence you could clearly see main idea ... - update process will be via old way ( cooked roms ) wish you or not .

i just wish you luck in finding OUT FROM EMERALD DREAM . and begin monitor USEFUL things Like HARDSPL . since only them could extend device lifecicle
[Surround General] teoami:
Wow, such hostility...

But in any case, after reading up on a few things, I'm going to clarify my previous statement.

Carriers can block the update, however, they can only block one update. So basically if ATT did in fact block this update from the Surround, they will have no choice in the matter when NoDo hits. That update will include this minor update plus that one.

Also to consider, it could just be a staggered update and it just hasn't made it to the surround yet.
[Surround General] mo3ulla:
there is no hostility or something personal . dude just in emerald dream .. :D

teoami

that problems nothing .. ms does not know themselfs some MAJOR things. they just keep silence about that

1. each MS product have limited lifecicle . updates which implement new major functionality counts as - SERVICE PACK HAVE DIFFERENT LIFE CICLE . and when RTM version does not suppurted SP still on support ( or Adaptaion Kit update if it is for mobile segment ) . will update policy cover that or updates limited bt family ? that part still unknown at all

in more easy words - updates under Os CURRENT STATE till new sp or what ?

2.

there is NEW problem unclasified by ms as well

they could postpone all updates if phone does not longer supported by manufactuter or carrier . HTC LIFECICLE for example 1 year . carrier phones could have 2 years as exeption ... how they will update things if they does not supported by manufacturer ? :D

ps .i just not in emerald dream about unlimited support .. i know all that gonna end in custom roms coz update will not gonna work or will wprk pretty limited time

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
LOL. I had it happen the other night - first time I used navigation since I flashed GSB v1.6.

The English lady was giving me correct directions, and the sultry chick would cut in and say one phrase:

"Turn Left then Right"

Not helpful!

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I used Nav with a stock ROM (Eclair 2.1, July 2010 OTA, v2.37.605.4) tonight and the same thing happened, so... I happily conclude that this is a recent change to Google Maps/Nav and has nothing to do with GSB.

On the basis of the 2 or 3 times it has happened to me so far, I suppose the "sultry" chick's voice only appears when there are closely-spaced, back-to-back turns. That explains the "turn left then right" from the other night - on further consideration, those instructions would have been correct based on where I was (although it was still sort of odd because full city blocks were involved, and I was only going about 35-40 mph).

Did you try to reboot the phone after the fix?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotter74:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Never having been on warm z, but from basic knowledge and experience, backing up, and re-flashing the rom could fix the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spotter74:
I was thinking the same so that is what I did.. I even went as far and to re-flash the rom and applying the fix and i get the same results.. not sure what is going on except for the fix is not playing nice..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What is the "fix" for this issue in the rom? If all else fails, try using google voice for voicemail. No problems for me on CM7, and I say that cuz google voice solves a lot of issues with voicemail.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] muhoo:
I've got an old G1 with CM6.10/froyo and I am tethering it via USB. I'd like to be able to debug the apps I'm working on through that connection without blowing away my internet connection, which happens when I turn debugging on via the phone's UI.

Is there some way to get adbd to start up without using usb, just network only? I'd guess this'd be some command-line arg or something in a conf file or setprop, but I haven't been able to find it.

It'd be nice if there was also a way to bind it to the usb0 interface only so it's not available on the rmnet0 interface, althoughI know how to iptables filter it out so that's no big deal.

***MOD EDIT***

THIS ROM ONLY WORKS ON 4.1.26. Please consider another ROM unless you know what you are doing.

History & Intro

The first version was done with 3 different batch files, it ended up being very hacky and even ended up bricking one phone because the cleanup script didn't properly work.

I have rebuilt it from the ground up as a shell script. The initial temp root and file push is done with a batch file, it then fires off the install script on the phone which reports back to the batch with helpful info about what it is doing and what to expect from the phone as it goes. You no longer have to accept any superuser requests either.

The new script has been used on tons of phones now, everything executed exactly as I expected it to. I really didn't want to post this until we had a stock firmware to restore to, after the first release I have been worried about you guys bricking your devices, but what the hell, here it is anyways.

Come chat with us!​

There is no easy way to get back to stock, I will make a thing just like this installer to do that, actually its done, testing it ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] psufan5:
So if all else fails, the factory reset will bring it back to out of the box shape? Just concerned because Im still debating if I want to keep the phone before my 30 days is up etc. Id like to return it as stock obviously, but I also need to test out custom mods before my decision.

Thanks man.
